Head Coach Greg Gard commented on the experience: "It's good for us to get under the lights here and get some experience with this."

Owen Foxwell stated, "We're still working to try to put it together as one kind of big collaborative piece. I think you'll see in patches, we look really good from the outside, some inside. Hopefully within the next couple weeks we'll look like a better unit."

Wisconsin's next exhibition game is set for Thursday against Green Bay at 6:30 p.m. at the Resch Center. The game will not be broadcast online, but fans can listen via the Badger Radio Network.
